A Little Bit About Us: You might know us from our founder and CEO, Dave Ramsey, who’s given no-nonsense money advice on the radio since 1992. Three decades later, Ramsey Solutions is a household name in personal finance, with a mission to change the toxic money culture for good.

Our Mission: Ramsey Solutions provides biblically based, commonsense education and empowerment that give HOPE to everyone in every walk of life.

Here’s a Taste of Our Benefits:

• Health insurance (includes plans eligible for an HSA—with a company match up to $500!)
• 401(k) retirement plan with 4% match/company contribution
• Annual wellness, counseling and grocery membership reimbursement
• On-campus cafe with subsidized pricing for breakfast, lunch and coffee bar
• Dependent care FSA
• Tons of cultural activities, like weekly devotional, leadership development courses, Battle of the Bands, and one epic Christmas party! 

Where and How You’d Work:

Ramsey Solutions Headquarters is located just outside of Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee. We value our strong, unified company culture because we believe the best work is done together. That’s why all of our team members work on-site under the same roof. But work-life balance is also important to us, so we offer flexible work schedules to take the stress out of appointments, family obligations and other needs that may pop up.

While every team member has a designated workspace (with an electronic sit-stand desk), our campus was designed to house a variety of unique work and play zones (e.g., quiet library space, coffee bar/lounge areas, recreational game zone, and outside/patio work and break areas).

What You’d Do in This Role:

We’re looking for an Associate Director of Software Engineering who will take ownership of the technical health and direction of multiple key digital marketing platforms (i.e. E-commerce, analytics, and subscriptions). This leader will guide a team of engineers toward technical excellence, setting clear standards, driving smart architectural decisions, and delivering reliable, scalable solutions. Beyond strong execution, this role is about building technology with purpose: creating tools and platforms that further our mission of bringing hope to people in every walk of life.

You’re Probably a Match If:

• You have a strong software engineering background with the ability to quickly ramp up on Java / Spring.
• You have 4+ years of prior experience as an individual contributor, with progression into a current engineering leadership role.
• You have a proven ability to solve complex problems, drive clarity, and make sound technical decisions.
• You have an interest and enthusiasm in leveraging AI to improve software engineering effectiveness

What Winning Looks Like:

• Lead, coach, and develop team of software engineers, creating an environment where people are challenged, supported, and empowered to do their best work. 
• Set clear expectations, provide regular feedback, and invest in the professional growth and career development of your team.
• Own the technical direction, execution, and delivery of a portfolio of digital marketing tools and platforms, ensuring high-quality outcomes that align with business priorities.
• Partner closely with Product, UX, and business leaders to shape roadmaps, make strategic tradeoffs, and deliver meaningful customer impact.
• Drive engineering excellence by championing best practices in software development, architecture, testing, deployment, security, and DevOps.
• Foster a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and operational excellence through effective processes, metrics, and team collaboration.
• Make thoughtful technical decisions that balance innovation, scalability, reliability, maintainability, and speed to market.
• Collaborate across teams to improve platform performance, strengthen engineering standards, and help scale the organization's technical capabilities. 

Other Stuff to Know:

We’re looking for people who are passionate about our mission. This isn’t just a J-O-B. We experience resistance every day because what we believe is absolutely countercultural. We actually hate debt. We actually cut up our credit cards . . . like, for real. Some of us are still fighting our way out of debt, but we aren’t going back.
